Look on YouTube.
BTW, you can change your post from 05-09 GT to 05-10 GT since it is the same car with a different body.
A V6 Camaro will obviously have no SS badges. The exhaust tips are smaller, and usually (unless it has an RS package), the rims are smaller. Or worse, those unfinished looking black "hubcapless-looking" rims with a silver lip that I cannot believe GM released.
Also... If it has 33inch rims, it is probably a V6 too.

A stock '05-'09 GT should have no problem with a stock 312 HP V6 Camaro. As 97tplsGT said the quickest way to tell the V8 vs. the V6 on the new Camaro is the slit at the front of the hood.

In the right hands the manual performs just as well, if the auto was so much better they would have made it an option on the Shelby and the Boss 302.

perhaps you can enlighten me as to how this magazine test done with a manual demonstrates how awesome and better manuals are better than automatics
Magazine testers are pencil pushers, nothing more... the fact that they even use manuals in their tests stick the ACTUAL potential of the cars in the mud
just stop, you're wrong... more and more people in our mustang group up here are opting for the 6 speed autos over the manuals... they are just better for drag racing, end of story... even bill barnes in his cobra jet replica running low 10's
not to mention the massive problems the cheap china mart manual transmissions are having in the 5.0L's
Just because you have a manual boss does not make you the end all of everything on your platform with your whole 500 posts
the A6 is the better option for the strip on the new 5.0L's... deal with it
